Any pix? What year is it from? I ride for them & may be able to help you.
Basically its a freestyle / all-mountain board with,
-Die-Cut-Base
-Tip to Tail Sensor Woodcore
-DDD Sidecut
-Sandwich Construction
-Biaxial Weave in Upper and Lower Belts
-Carbon Weave
-Extruded Base
-High Performance Grind Structure
-Diamond Finish
The tech & materials may be a little different depending on which year model it is.
Also, where is the damage at? Kinda hard to tell. Not so bad between the binders but its basically done if its by the contact points. Or you can use it as a street board? Is the edge broken/blown out at all? If so, & depending on the extent of damage you may need to remove or replace the edge & p-tex. |

hmm.. alright, thanks. heres some more shots. the damage is about i dunno, an inch and a half long, top layer is chunked out, you can see the weave, then a little of the layer under that, and that bit of metal on the rail is gone where you see it.
and whats the cool metal plate on the nose for? protection i guess? |

Use that fast set epoxy that comes in like two syringes (find it at wallyworld/whatever) mix it up w/popsicle stick and slap it on there, make sure you get under any exposed edges or whatever, make sure you have enough to level it out, make sure you don't get any over the edge, and then get a piece of saran wrap and hold it flat with the top and then fold it over the base, do whatever you gotta do to get the epoxy smoothed out and uniform under the wrap, make sure you don't spread it over the edge, let it sit. Next day peel the saran wrap off or what you can get of it, if you do it right it should be pretty smooth and super sealed. |

Should be OK. If you wanna just Macgyver it do what SCS said.
Or you can take it to a ski/snowboard shop that fixes them & they'll replace the edge & p-tex. Should be around $40 or so. Resort rental shops/techs fix them too. |

with any luck itll serve at least a season or two!

I think the biggest thing would be sealing it up so no moisture gets in there and helps it delam. doesn't have to be pretty as long as it does the trick. |

Yeah, that shit is the bomb!
I even used it to fill a hole in the bell housing of a transmission. |
